Sure looks like a spun case from a casemaking moth.

Subject: [pestlist] I wanted to share this with everyone, it was a total
surprise.
I have pest activity on a jingle shirt. The garment is constructed of cotton
fabric, and metal jingle cones. No silk, hide, or wool is applied to it. Some
of the tinkler cones have a webbing that encloses the interior perfectly. Also
found was a casing that matches the printed coating found on the tinkler cones.
I am assuming that whatever hatched on this shirt was a protein eating species.
I am assuming that sweat, salts, and proteins, are on the tinkler cone and that
is why the larva skimmed the surface. It appears that nothing is truly safe
from pest activity.
